Characterization of atrazine-induced gonadal malformations in African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis) and comparisons with effects of an androgen antagonist (cyproterone acetate) and exogenous estrogen (17beta-estradiol): Support for the demasculinization/feminization hypothesis. [PDF]
, 2006 Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that both chemically castrates and feminizes male amphibians. It depletes androgens in adult frogs and reduces androgen-dependent growth of the larynx in developing male larvae.

Teacher toads: Buffering apex predators from toxic invaders in a remote tropical landscape
Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 3, May/June 2024.Abstract Even after research identifies new approaches for wildlife management, translating those methods for delivery can be logistically challenging. In tropical Australia, invasive cane toads (Rhinella marina) fatally poison many anuran‐eating native predators.

Field trials of chemical suppression of embryonic cane toads (Rhinella marina) by older conspecifics
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Laboratory experiments have shown that the viability of embryos of the invasive cane toad (Rhinella marina) can be reduced by exposure to chemical cues from older conspecific larvae.

Using genetic data to predict the vulnerability of a native predator to a toxic invader [PDF]
, 2016 Australia has no native toad species, and as a consequence, many Australian predators lack resistance to the toxins of the invasive cane toad Rhinella marina, and die if they ingest one of these toads.

Electrical responses of rods in the retina of Bufo marinus
The Journal of Physiology, 1977 1. Intracellular responses to flashes and steps of light have been recorded from the outer segment and the cell body of rods in the retina of the Bufo marinus. The identification of the origin of recorded responses has been confirmed by intracellular marking.2.

Ventilatory behaviors of the toad Bufo marinus revealed by coherence analysis
Brazilian Journal of BiologyBreathing in amphibians is a remarkably complex behavior consisting of irregular breaths that may be taken singly or in bouts that are used to deflate and inflate the lungs.
